Yellow Peak
Yellow Peak is a high mountain peak at an elevation of 2.190m (7,185ft) above the sea level, located in Washoe County, in northwestern Nevada, in United States.
The road to the summit, located within the Sheldon National Antelope Refuge is gravel and rocky. It’s called State Rte 34A. It’s impassable in winters. Avoid driving in this area if unpaved mountain roads aren't your strong point.
4x4 required. Stay away if you're scared of heights. Expect a trail pretty steep. At the summit there’s a lookout tower rebuilt in 1981. For your safety, be sure to check the weather forecast before you begin your trip. If there is a thunderstorm in the area, please do not visit a lookout.
